says STAX X9000 is the BEST!
I occasionally felt nostalgic for the Joola Vyzaryz Trinity blade. At one point, I had two of them (one main and one spare for training, rubber testing, etc.), but when I switched to playing with the Cybershape Carbon, I decided to sell one of the Trinity blades. As it turned out, two people really wanted to buy this blade from me, so I gave in to their persuasion and sold both... And now I regret selling them—it's a great blade. Looking around, it seems this blade has been discontinued, and there are fewer and fewer offers for it, so I decided to buy one before it disappears completely.

For rubbers, I immediately went with the new Trinity Dynamic in maximum thickness. After all, Charged feels a bit too hard for me—I just can't compress it properly, but maybe that's specifically on the KL-C Inner blade, and on the Trinity it might become easier to compress. Still, I decided not to take the risk—I really liked Dynamic. And if I do end up wanting to try Charged on the Trinity blade, I can always swap the Dynamic and Charged between the blades...

How do you like V22 Double Extra? I had used it about a year ago (don't really remember too much about it), but went back to Hurricane on the backhand since I liked Hurricane rubbers (currently using a hard hybrid rubber on BH), but am most likely switching off of Hurricane since QC isn't good anymore and weight has been very inconsistent.

A well balanced rubber.
Powerful enough, precise, good grip. It offers high durability for ESN rubbers, which makes a difference for me.
It feels like Tenergy 19 but with a slightly harder sponge; however, the overall feel is very similar.

so far, with my test of so many "H3" wannabees, especially with the hype on those rubbers from this forum.

I have the same findings, they all have less spin, unfortunately.
H3 top sheet + sponge ratio, spin is just the next level.
Like the spin ratio on a T05 and another other wannabees.
I’m struggling with a push based player who uses Hurricane National on FH. Nasty backspin and I’m not good with nasty backspin.
Feels like I’m a junior again and getting vexed by spoilers.
I can accept it more though as part of the game and try to practice accordingly in multi-ball and drills.
This is my current thing to overcome. I’ve overcome choking to a great extent so believe I can work to do much better in this too.

This week, I have received my shipments from Gubler (wood sealer, rubber cleaner, and headband ) and Prott.vip (Yasaka Atletico Power Pro, Li-Ning Short and Shirt). Almost ready to start the new season.

I just got a Palio R57 blade (the surface looks really nice BTW) and 2 Moon 12 M- rubbers and a black Mercury II rubber delivered from aliexpress.
I have the Yinhe Big Dipper V 39° on my backhand now which is way to hard even though I can make an occasional desperate winner ;) So I need the Moon for that and then I wanted to try a lighter blade so Palio R57 with Moon on the backhand and Mercury II on the forehand (needed to try the budget king)
In the long run I think I will try Andro Nuzn, Rozena and Raksa. As I suspekt that I need more catapult.

Been using the Q968 for over a year now, slowly moving toward more outer carbon structure. Time to give the S968 a try. If that doesn't work out I'll probably either use the FZD ALC or the LJK ADC.
How does the Q968 play. I just got mine and I am coming from Petr Korbel.
How come you are deciding to switch from inner carbon to outer?

Well, not exactly outer, as the S968 is still inner. I only have experience with one Q968 so I don't know if it applies to all of them, but I found it difficult to really hit into the blade. The W968 which I used before that was already difficult to activate, but the Q was even harder. I did like that it was more crisp and direct on the BH side. I'm focusing a bit more on recovery and longer rallies now rather than finishing the point ASAP, so I'm looking for equipment that suits that purpose a bit better.

I've only had a brief session against the robot with the S968, without using the intended rubbers (my new H3N BS is still boosting so I'm using an old sheet of off boost H3N OS), but preliminarily it feels even more crisp and direct than the Q968, but it was also a bit easier to activate, more on the level of the W968.

There are things preventing me from switching to the FZD ALC or the LJK ADC as well. The FZD ALC as an outer blade is a lot more difficult to brush loop as it's got noticeably less dwell on that type of shot. The LJK ADC as an inner blade is much better in that regard. However, the LJK is a bit too fast, which when combined with the somewhat flatter trajectory compared to the W/Q968 tends to make the ball go long. I also like the 968 handle better than the FZD and the LJK's. FZD's handle feels slightly thick to me as I have smaller hands. LJK's is narrow in an awkward way, which is supposed to make it easier for FH/BH transitions (it's thin and rounder than usual). I think it actually does accomplish that goal, but it doesn't feel as comfortable.

I see one Blue Sponged H3 and two others are Orange. So which are you planning to use ?

In my experience orange sponge H3 doesn't suite FH as well as BS, especially on spin department on serves/receives, short game and slow open up loops.

edit: I'm currently playing HL5 Golden commercial version, waiting for w968 golden to arrive.

Gonna use the H3 BS. Last time I boosted using Haifu black so at some point of time I want to try my usual yellow on the OS just to make sure it wasn't due to the booster change that I didn't like the OS. With the new blade I wanted to reduce variables when testing so will use the usual BS with usual Seamoon.
